NEW BIOGRAPHY OF ANDREW JACKSON DAVIS By John DeSalvo, Ph.D. The book is entitled Andrew Jackson Davis, The First American Prophet and Clairvoyant VISIT THE ANDREW JACKSON DAVIS WEBSITE AT: WWW.ANDREWJACKSONDAVIS.COM Book can be purchased from www.lulu.com Direct link to purchase book is: http://www.lulu.com/content/164314 Dr DeSalvo introduces his book Andrew Jackson Davis, who lived in the 19th century, was one of the most incredible clairvoyants in our known history. At a young age, he was able to transcend his normal conscious state and enter into a higher consciousness, which he called a “superior state.” In this state he was able to obtain higher information about the universe, life and death, and the future. One of his first gifts was the ability to diagnosis and prescribe treatments for individuals without receiving any information about them, similar to what Edgar 255 Cayce did about 50 years later. He could also, by entering this higher consciousness, obtain future information about the sciences, including astronomy, physics, chemistry, medicine, psychology, etc. Many of his scientific predictions have only recently come true. Unlike other prophets, Davis was very specific in his predictions and his accuracy is much higher than any other known seer or prophet. Davis could actually see and observe the death process and the way in which the spirit leaves the body and forms a new spiritual being. He even describes in detail the hereafter, which he was able to enter at will. My new book is an overview of his life, his writings, and his revelations. His possible involvement with Abraham Lincoln is discussed including the presence of Lincoln at several séances, his use of Spiritualism during the Civil War to obtain military information, and the role of Spiritualism in issuing the Emancipation Proclamation. Davis’ revelations are important for our present time. This book will open a new world for you and give you encouragement and hope for our future and the future of each individual person, both in this life and in the next. Below is an edited extract from the Introduction to my book: Most people I know have never heard of Andrew Jackson Davis. If I mention his name they think I am referring to President Andrew Jackson or maybe one of Jefferson Davis’ relatives. I only came upon his name while researching the question of whether Abraham Lincoln was interested in Spiritualism. I found a reference that Abraham Lincoln met and received counsel from Andrew Jackson Davis. So, I decided to buy some of his books and research this connection. I started reading his first and main work, The Principles of Nature, published in 1847, which is over 700 pages long. I could not put it down. Here in front of me was the philosophy and spirituality that I have been searching for all my life and I found answers to some of the most significant spiritual questions that I have been asking. This book truly has significance for people all over the world today. What is so fascinating about Davis is the way he obtained this higher knowledge. He claimed to be able to enter into a higher consciousness, or dimension (he calls it a higher sphere), and observe the world and the universe with a higher awareness. At the time he received this gift, he was about 19 years old and fairly uneducated. Up to this time he only had five months of education and never read more than six books. His first book, The Principles of Nature, reveals new and prophetic information in the sciences that includes astronomy, physics, biology, metaphysics, medicine, philosophy, education, spirituality, government, and many other areas. It has to be one of the most all encompassing books of knowledge and prophecy ever written. Some of his predictions in the sciences and astronomy have only recently been shown to be true. An interesting connection that I have with Davis is his interest in Egyptology. Davis said that it is important to research ancient Egypt and its monuments since it would shed light on our ancient origins. I have been the Director of the Great Pyramid of Giza Research Association for the past five years and when I first read about this in his book it truly caught my attention. Why should I write a book on Andrew Jackson Davis? What can I contribute? As I 256 was reading through Davis’ Principles, it dawned on me that he was describing scientific principles and laws before they had been discovered. I realized that the average person might not pick up on the modern technological significance. How many would recognize the scientific principles and concepts that I was trained in? The main question is why hasn’t anyone else discovered these things? Very few people know about Andrew Jackson Davis and even fewer have read his works. Of those, how many are scientists and can recognize these principles like I have? Davis has been lost in obscurity for the last 100 years, just at a time when many of his scientific predictions are coming true. I am also unusual in that I have a very broad background in the sciences that includes physics, astronomy, anatomy, physiology, chemistry, and biology. In addition, I have been very interested in paranormal phenomena and alternative research. I believe that this diverse background and interest in the paranormal is the perfect combination to study and write about Davis. Also, how many scientists would even consider reading the works of a 19th century Seer and Clairvoyant who was uneducated and claimed to have received his knowledge from a higher realm? So I think I have found my niche. My purpose in writing this book is to introduce you to the life and writings of Andrew Jackson Davis and encourage you to read his works. That is why I took the approach of using direct quotes whenever possible rather than rewriting what he had said. Also, since he has written over 30 books, and his major work, The Principles of Nature, is over 700 pages, I wanted to give an overview for those who do not have the time or motivation to read his books in their entirety. After I discovered Andrew Jackson Davis, I decided to postpone my book on Abraham Lincoln and just write one on this amazing Prophet. After my first draft, I realized that it would be more complete if I added a chapter on Abraham Lincoln’s interest and involvement in Spiritualism. I had spent much time researching this for my book and had most of the materials. I think this is very appropriate since it seems very probable that Lincoln did know and consult with Andrew Jackson Davis since Davis was also considered the most famous Spiritualist at that time. It is also known that Davis used psychometry (obtaining information psychically by holding an object) in his later years as a doctor to diagnosis his patients. Law enforcement officers sometimes use psychometry to help locate bodies or other objects involved in a crime. For over a year, I have been researching and trying to identify an interesting Lincoln assassination relic which I owned. I finally came to a dead end. After learning about Davis’ use of psychometry, I decided to apply this method to the relic. Using a psychometrist, I was able to solve the mystery of this relic and I have included a chapter on this. I believe that these two additional chapters will add greatly to the book and help illustrate many of the ideas and methods of Andrew Jackson Davis. The appendix includes some of the most interesting prophetic dreams of Abraham Lincoln, a rare Civil War diary that records day by day the events of his assassination, as well as a rare photograph of Ford’s Theatre taken the day after the assassination. It is my hope that this book will take you on a special journey and that you will learn something about Abraham Lincoln that you may not have known before. 257 I wish you well in your spiritual search and invite you to explore the world of Andrew Jackson Davis. Dr. John DeSalvo would be most grateful for any source material and/or any information not readily known or available pertaining to Andrew Jackson Davis, and to contact him direct on [email protected] ………………………………….. MRS DE CRESPIGNY AND THE BRITISH COLLEGE OF PSYCHIC SCIENCE When did organised Spiritualism reach it peak in the UK? Possibly in the1930s, when four or five major London centres flourished. Consolidation had already begun before the outbreak of war (the International Institute joining the BCPS for example - see Newsletter September 2005); war and austerity removed others. But the grim reaper struck repeatedly at the leadership in the 1930s, as our many obituary-based features have shown. This month we turn to a totally forgotten figure. LIGHT FEBRUARY 14 1935.

  • The History Spiritualism
    THE HISTORY of SPIRITUALISM by ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE, M.D., LL.D. former President d'Honneur de la Fédération Spirite Internationale, President of the London Spiritualist Alliance, and President of the British College of Psychic Science Volume One With Seven Plates PSYCHIC PRESS LTD First edition 1926 To SIR OLIVER LODGE, M.S. A great leader both in physical and in psychic science In token of respect This work is dedicated PREFACE This work has grown from small disconnected chapters into a narrative which covers in a way the whole history of the Spiritualistic movement. This genesis needs some little explanation. I had written certain studies with no particular ulterior object save to gain myself, and to pass on to others, a clear view of what seemed to me to be important episodes in the modern spiritual development of the human race. These included the chapters on Swedenborg, on Irving, on A. J. Davis, on the Hydesville incident, on the history of the Fox sisters, on the Eddys and on the life of D. D. Home. These were all done before it was suggested to my mind that I had already gone some distance in doing a fuller history of the Spiritualistic movement than had hitherto seen the light - a history which would have the advantage of being written from the inside and with intimate personal knowledge of those factors which are characteristic of this modern development. It is indeed curious that this movement, which many of us regard as the most important in the history of the world since the Christ episode, has never had a historian from those who were within it, and who had large personal experience of its development.

I find myself somewhat embarrassed in speaking on a subject which, though it is not a stranger to human hopes and aspirations, is nevertheless quite foreign to most people's habits of thinking, opposed to their educational bias, and which conflicts with popular methods of reasoning on the resurrection. I find three classes of persons who have read, and studied, and investigated the truths of this discourse. One class of minds are prepared for many spiritual things that I do not feel impressed to utter on this occasion.

Out of those, I would like to thank Professor John McCurdy for his patience, devotion, and indispensable help in the writing and reading of the various drafts which were sent. Even while writing a book, Professor McCurdy was always able to help graciously. Drs. Richard Nation and James Egge have also been of great help in this process, and I am indebted to them for their time and assistance during the writing process. Our conversations were not only very informative, but, above all, an enjoyable experience that led to my personal growth. Most importantly, however, I would like to thank my wife, Shannon, for putting up with me during this entire process. Countless nights have been spent locked away reading and writing, and Shannon has always been understanding. Above all, Shannon has supported this thesis and was my rock as I have spent almost a year and a half stressing over the completion of this work.
